- King (1990: 178) commented: "Below the end of KJA 7. Most of the r is covered by hammering, one of the prongs of the ʾ is faint and part of the l is covered by an abrasion. rhs¹n is not in Harding 1971. rhs¹ occurs in KJA 6 on this rock. For nk, see Ch. 4.E.2. The text is ambiguous as either bnʾ l is the object of Rhs¹n’s passion or the letters should be read as bn ʾl, ‘son of ʾl’".
